Has the loot system been rebalanced in the pre-sequel?

Has the loot system been rebalanced in the pre-sequel? - Old fashioned cassette player placed in shabby garage near old industrial equipment

So, I picked up the pre-sequel, and am about level 15. I've already found an orange shield from a badass enemy, and seen three in the Marcus Machines. They do however seem nerfed compared to the kind of legendary loot you'd get in Borderlands 2. Did 2k Australia rebalance the loot system? I'm definitely seeing more white/green than blue/purple/orange, but higher level loot seems more common than previous iterations.

Also, does "When Grandma Burps, Patrick Obeys" still apply, or are there other classes of loot?
